A review by aceir
The Butcher of Khardov by Dan Wells

I'm not giving this a star rating since I don't think that would be fair to the book. It's competently written, and I think that people who care about this universe would enjoy it. Plus it has a few drawings in it, which I thought was nice.

But I read this as a Hugo nomination. And, wow, is it cheesy. I mean, of course the Tharn barbarians, worshipers of the Devourer Worm, killed his whole family, giving his origin story both Pain and Anger.
